Gray Barker UFO Collection
Gray Barker was a noted UFO writer, teller of tall tales, and hoaxer from the early 1950's until his death in 1984. Barker was noted for his dramatic style blurring fact with fiction to capture the imagination. He is best known for his book, They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers—a description of Albert Bender's encounter with the Men in Black-and his own serial publication, The Saucerian—a collection of contactee stories and other bizarre UFO encounters.
The Collection consists of approximately 29 drawers of file folders, 300 books, 75 groups of magazines, photographs of Barker and various props used by Barker. It is located in historic Waldomore in the Gray Barker Room. The public is welcome to visit during our regular hours.
Quote:Gray Barker, a Braxton County West Virginia Legacy
The town of Riffle is a small, close-knit, community in central West Virginia. Located in Braxton County near the borders of Gilmer and Calhoun Counties, Riffle couldn’t be much more rural, unassuming, or off the beaten path, but on May, 2nd 1925 a man was born who would come to play a significant role in developing Ufology and the lore and story-telling which would accompany it. That man was Gray Barker.
